Check release announcement export against the source text
An export is the moment when text often becomes harder to inspect but more expensive to get wrong. Foldly extracts the export text, lines it up against the approved source, and gives you a faster way to confirm that the wording still matches.

How to do it in Foldly
2
Load the exported or returned file
Open the PDF or DOCX version beside it so Foldly can compare the extracted text.
3
Check high-risk sections first
Marketing polish can overstate timing or shipped scope.
4
Fix drift before the file goes out
If the wording changed in a way that matters, update the source or regenerate the export before distribution.
Inspect these first
- Check dates, scope, and limitation notes first.
- Compare the summary paragraphs before smaller detail sections.
- Marketing polish can overstate timing or shipped scope.
- Inspect changed headings, summaries, and closing lines before lower-risk body copy.
Comparison setup
This is the practical shape of the workflow before you start reviewing changed lines.
Approved release announcement source
Starts as: Plain text, markdown, or the trusted working draft
Reviewed as: Editable Original column
Best for: Anchoring the review to wording the team has already approved.
Watch for: Late edits that were never reviewed in the source file.
Exported or returned file
Starts as: plain text, markdown, pdf text extraction
Reviewed as: Extracted text in a comparison column
Best for: Finding wording drift before the final version is shared.
Watch for: Layout, comments, and image-only content are outside this text check.
Why release announcement exports need verification
Release announcements are often rewritten for packaging or export, which can change scope, dates, or what actually shipped.
- Check dates, scope, and limitation notes first.
- Compare the summary paragraphs before smaller detail sections.
What teams usually do instead
Final announcement reviews often happen in design exports where text drift is harder to isolate.
Why Foldly is better for release announcement export checks
Foldly keeps the approved wording visible while you review the exported announcement text line by line.
What good looks like
- The exported release announcement matches the approved source where wording matters.
- Any drift is corrected before the final file is shared.
- A separate visual proof is used if layout, formatting, or design fidelity also matters.
Example scenario
Launch announcement verification
A launch team compares the final review PDF of a release announcement against the approved source draft.
Outcome: They restore a date qualifier that disappeared in the exported version before the announcement is sent.
Limits and caveats
- Foldly compares extracted text, not the visual layout or formatting of the exported file.
- Marketing polish can overstate timing or shipped scope.

FAQ
Why is release announcement export verification a separate page?
Announcement verification is its own task because the goal is preventing outbound messaging drift before publication or distribution.
Should this replace a visual proof?
No. This workflow is for wording-level drift. If layout also matters, run a separate visual proof after the text check.
